I'll admit to doing the same - visiting only Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. It's a shame though, Naples is one of the few European ports where the ship docks in the city and people seem to run away from it.
But this has left me pretty curious about Naples. I think for someone on a second cruise visiting Naples it would be an opportunity to visit the city, but do they? I know there is good pizza in the city, and I know there are some good museusms too. Particularly there is a museum on Pompeii, a nice suppliment if you've been to Pompeii.
So after my tour, when I had free time to enjoy sitting on deck reading, I looked out at the city and wondered. I wondered what the city had to offer visitors, and I wondered if it was worth the risk of the dangers the city is said to possess. I also wonder if when I return I'll take my own advice.
If you want some actual tips on visiting Naples on your own, Cruize Cast has a nice podcast on the city, telling you how to get to Pompeii and what other things there are to do in the city.
